well, I convinced Jordan to let me have a look at mjp's opus. interesting to say the least.

it starts off "Call me Ishmael. I SAID CALL ME ISHMAEL, BITCH !!!" and then it goes on about whales for awhile, and how whales are pussies, especially the sperm whale.

then he talks about Janet Jackson for a bit. I won't get into that.

and then there's 13 pages on the MIGHTY HERMAPHRODITE WAR OF '88!!! (his all caps, not mine). not sure what he's on about there, but mjp called it "a mighty victory."

4 pages on tantric sex. this section is a tad difficult to decipher, as it's in all caps and there is very little spacing between words and there are these emoticons everywhere that I've never seen before. but there is one section that I'm pretty sure mjp says he's either better at tantric sex than Sting, or he had tantric sex with Sting. I should add that in this section the word 'tantric' is misspelled several times as 'tantrum.'

then it gets garbled, and it ends with "The English language is inadequate to display all my masturfull (sic) virtues."

A misspell? Too bad, "tantrum sex" sounded interesting! :D
 
You can do whatever you need for my bio. If, I actually wrote one. Honestly, I just don't remember. I think I did, but...

Sorry for my absence here kiddos. Lost me gig Nov. 21 and have been in a whole other world of existence since then. One where I am not at a computer 40 hours a week with nothing else to do.

And no, I did not lose my job because I spent all my time on the internet. Shit just got fucked by the economy and well, you know.

I hope to get back here more regularly soon. And, I did order 2 extra copies of the book other than the contrib copy. There very well may be two extras out there when this comes out for someone else wanting to buy it. Hopefully shit turns around by APRIL!!!! Yes, I jest. But not about not being able to get those two others. Stay tuned....

Did a bit of that make sense? I'm rather bombed.

I miss y'all.

I'm officially pushing this thread into 2009. AND asking: any news? Yes, I already checked the website. Mid-january.

Just asking, just asking, don't look me that way :)
 
I was just thinking the same thing myself yesterday. Whoa, could me being out of internet circulation have prevented me from the riches of this book?!

the book is coming along... we'll probably have it printed this weekend and then we'll (well, justine will) start sewing them up.

in other news: if you have a poem about money, the economy, a job, etc., please submit it to us. make it a good one, one with something interesting to say, one that gets beyond "being poor sucks" or "this economy sucks" or "capitalism sucks." it's for a broadside project that we'll announce in greater detail once we select a poem to use.
